Here in tho Arctic region Satur-
day night is six months long, so
an Eskimo takes a bath once in
three and a half years. They
change their fur lingerie twice n
year. They call underwear step-
ins in January and step-outs in
July.
The Eskimo also has very little
sense of humor. When you ask
him, "Who was that lady I seen
iyou with last night?" he cannot
I remember six months back. He
does not know the answer to this
gag. They have a very primitive
civilization indeed. For instance,
all Eskimos chew tallow, but they
never get it from slot machines.
The natives hereabouts are very
friendly. This is spring and the
Eskimo farmers are all busy with
their snowplows. They are plant-
ing rows and rows of aniline dyes
and hope to raise a large crop of
strawberry ice cream.
Tho Eskimos have many quaint
habits. There Is little love-making

ANOTHER WAY TO SAVE
When the old Overbrook hotel,
for years a landmark on tho White
Horse pike, near Lindenwood,
N. J., was sold, 14.545 in cash was
removed from mattresses and cup-
board corners throughout the old
hostelry. The money, property of
Mrs. George Thomas, proprietor,
was first discovered by a realty
agent helping Mrs. Thomas remove
her personal belongings from the
hotel after its sale. The agent
pulled five 810 bills from a mat-
tress. the sight of which seemed to
jog Mrs. Thomas' memory. "It's
wonderful," she said. “I can re-
member now back as far as twen-
ty-five years ago when, not hav-
ing confidence in banks, I used to
tuck small sums under these mat-
tresses.’’

FACTS, NOT OPINIONS, COUNT
A JOURNALISTIC survey conducted by the department of
public relations of tho National Association of Credit
Men. made public by J. II. Tregoe, executive manager of the j
association, shows that, while about !H> per cent of the.
financial men who make up the association s membership of
about 30,000, read or scan more than one newspaper a day,
less than 50 per cent of them are influenced much in then-
trade dealings bv published opinions of business conditions.
The department points out in its report of the survey
that credit executives apparently are more likely to be inter-
ested in published facts and data than by opinions of busi-
ness men which appear in news columns. In commenting on
this condition, Mr. Tregoe said he considered this a healthy
sign which indicates that there is less “heard-thinking than
many of us have believed.
“One cannot travel very widely over our country and
come into close contact with its business problems and cur-
rents without recognizing the supreme need of intelligent
initiative,” Mr. Tregoe said in commenting on the survey.
“There seems to be an irresistible temptation to follow
rather than to lead in the business world. What others do
that seems to be successful attracts a flock of imitators.
It was this unfortunate tendency which led so many to over-
play the game and increase their production and distribution
facilities in the immediate aftermath of the great war when
a little reflection might have revealed the period’s abnormali-
ties and the need for holding back.
"The frequent inability to discover and interpret hidden
trends in business and a general leaning toward those who
are counted as prophets produces a psychological state with
which we must reckon. I recall clearly the bewilderment
which came to the business of this country in August, 1911,
and which, had it not been checked, would have led to very
serious consequences even though at the time there was not
a sign of serious disturbances throughout our entire business
struct u
“No decided step forward was ever taken in our indus-
trial history except as a sequence of good leadership and
intelligent initiative. So long as we remain imitators willing
to follow instead of thinking out methods for ourselves, the
struggle will be severe and the waste shameful.
“Business as a human institution responds promptly to
intelligent control. This type of control is called for right
now when the curves of production, distribution and con-
sumption indicate uncertainty and show conclusively tin
presence of underlying elements that can only be grasped
and understood by rigorous handling.
“It is not what the other fellow may do which guides the
destinies of our business and its success, it is solely what we
ourselves may accomplish, what our intelligence and initia-
tive may be able to do.”___
Lady Cynthia Mosley is reported as saying that she is a
socialist because she wants "all children to have the decent,
pleasant, happy life" that her two little children have. This
is a generous and altogether worthy impulse on the part of
Lady Cynthia, but it may be questioned whether socialism
or any other ism can provide all the children with great
grandfathers who accumulated as many millions as did Levi
Z. Leiter of Chicago. For one tiling, even granting to all
men equal ability to rake in and salt down money, there is
not and never will be sufficient potential wealth for one man
in fifty, let alone every man, to get his grip on so much.
THEY’RE MEN WITH VISIONS
THE REALTORS who are coming to Muskogee earfr in
June, following their national convention, make up a
class of men who have sufficient vision to look into the future
and to make their dreams come true. It is this type of men
responsible for the development of every state in the union,
and for the growth, progress and prosperity of the great
cities of the nation.
A dty was built in the swamps of I>ake Michigan because
men of vision concentrated at Chicago and put their brain,
brawn and capital into the conquest and created the
metropolis of the Great flakes. A city was built in a stone
quarry on the Missouri river by reason of the fact that far
seeing real estate men, looking into the future determined
(that Kansas City would be a logical place for a city of
.magnificent proportions. A city was built on the crest of the
lEocky mountains by the pioneers who first went to Denver
and realizing its stragetic position midway between the
Mississippi valley and the Pacific, had vision and courage
enough to put their time, talent and money to the test, and
Denver, the Queen of the Rockies, is the result.
When the history of any prosperous section of this
nation, or the history of any outstanding municipality is
truthfully recorded, into that history must be written the
names of the real estate men who, in almost every instance,
are responsible for their city's progress.
